Some of you may be interested in this free online event from Parents for Climate. They say it's a "practical, no-nonsense webinar designed to help households reduce energy bills, improve comfort, and understand what to look for when taking the next step toward an all-electric home, whether that’s now or sometime in the future...
This is a national session, so we’ll focus on principles, real-life examples, and decision-making frameworks that apply across Australia. Where relevant, we’ll point you to tools and programs to help you find local rebates and support. It's aimed at parents, homeowners, renters, and anyone curious about lowering bills and future-proofing their home.
What we’ll cover:
-
Where most homes are wasting money on energy
-
How to get off gas (without doing everything at once)
-
What to consider before upgrading to solar, batteries, hot water heat pumps, and efficient heating & cooling
-
Induction cooking and EV charging: what you need to know (and what you don’t)

And when you need to replace it? Or buy more?
In fifty years when a 30kW solar power system is working like a 20kW system the geopolitical system will probably be different
Buy or from whoever is making it. America, Australia, and China are certainly making panels, most likely other countries
Other electrical equipment is made everywhere
The "what if you need more" argument is also a thing for gas hot water, internal combustion engines and everything else
Electric is no different, except it doesn't need fuel
And my point is that we should start making all absolutely essential things here, especially for probably the single most important thing to our country.
Being reliant on China for the thing that powers our entire country is not a good thing. Did you miss what happened during 2020/2021?
